Workshop

Innovative Energy Systems & CO2 Stabilization

calendar
Jul 14th, 1998 - Jul 24th, 1998
location
Aspen

This workshop worked to investigate the challenge of low carbon energy production at the billion ton of avoided carbon emissions or terawatt scale. In addition to commonly considered options, such as wind or terrestrial solar power, less widely considered options for carbon reduction, such as carbon capture and sequestration. Other technologies discussed included fusion, space based solar power and the prospects for aggressive energy efficiency reducing the total primary power needed. A component of the workshop explored geoengineering approaches and implications for the environment and society.

Keywords: carbon cycle; climate variability and change; technology; solutions, energy
